Seriously how is anyone still buying the idea that sw*rfs and r*dfems are actual feminists, when all their arguments boil down to 'all women who don't believe the same things as me are stupid little victims incapable of making decisions for themselves'

the fact that these people think 'women who think they have a kink I don't approve of are actually idiots who don't know what they want', and 'all sex workers who say they've chosen their jobs are actually being assaulted but they're too stupid to realise it' are feminist arguments is just mindblowing

genuinely, how do you hate women the way these people do and still think you're on the side of gender equality?

I have nothing but respect for the women who try to kindly and respectfully talk swerfs down and persuade them to actually think of women outside their immediate social circle as human beings, but I could never do it. If they can't see that they're straight up on the side of the patriarchy, they're clearly a fuck of a lot dumber than any of the women they see as so far beneath them, and I do not have the mental energy to deal with them

#this is because i followed back a bunch of recent followers #and one of them started putting swerf talking points on my dash #i've blocked them obv #but i'm still trying to decide if I want to do a full response to the post that triggered this rant #it's so easy to debunk their ideas #but i'm 99% op is a terf and i don't fancy getting dogpiled #anyway if you're a sex worker or a woman with sub and cnc kinks #i support you and i'm so sorry these dingdongs are dicks about you #i hope you're living your best life

just another reminder that terfs/swerfs and radfems can kindly fuck off my blog

#terfs fuck off #swerfs fuck off #radfems fuck off #just realized i rbed something from someone who was spewing terf shit #i shouldve seen it by the way they were misgendering the op and stuff

[bolihunter15]

Tumblr showed me a terf saying they aren't nonbinary anymore cause they took biology as an elective and now they see the light and hate trans people now (paraphrase)

It said based in my likes????? Like I'm literally genderqueer, genderfluid since I was a teenager and they're gonna show me terf shit

Fuck off tumblr fuck off terfs

#this person hates terfs #this person hates swerfs #fuck all of those people dont come near me #op #captains log

#i liked one post about the history of women and work and now my 'based on your likes' is flooded with radfems and in particular swerfs #i even went back and checked the op of that original post and their pinned post is anti-terf #what the fuck is going on get away

near self-awareness moment

man it’s almost as if radfems and other groups masquerading as “radically” left aren’t actually leftists

#love to see a post on my dash and something about the wording feels off you i click to see op’s tags and am instead treated to a swerf #nine grid that rapidly turns into terfism and culminates in rabid misgendering of hari nef and jkr praise 🤩 #this website makes me so fucking tired sometimes

Most "radfem/terf" blogs Ive seen will happily reblog posts made by transpeople or that include pro-trans rights stuff without comment.

Meanwhile countless "gendie/tra" blogs will scream and shout and refuse to reblog, or even let other people reblog, posts that they agree with and would have reblogged if they hadnt "checked" the OPs blog and found one too many feminist posts for their liking, and thus decided that they must be a evil facist (everyone knows facists love feminism).

That tells me all I need to know. Who is the real hateful radical here?

Can you imagine if "radfems" treated transpeople the same way? Popping into peoples inboxes to "let them know" that OP is trans (and if you dont immediately believe them and are not outraged, you are a bigot too). Religiously stamping "no trans people allowed!! Death to trans people!!" in every bio and under every post for social approval? Thats what real bigotry and hate looks like. Thats what social control and group think/thought policing looks like.

[gothhabiba]

can i ask for you to elaborate on your issue(s) with those 'male positivity' posts? is it with the whole sentiment, or just with the "you're allowed to be angry" part? i agree w "you're allowed to be angry" being an oblivious at best statement. but i don't see any issue with the first two statements themselves (the "OP says..." and "commenter says...")

yeah so I already talked about some of this in the tags to those posts but sure, let's get into it.

OP says "if you’re a boy with a mental illness, a boy with a disability, a boy with a history of abuse, a boy who has an eating disorder, a boy with trauma, I need you to know that you are not a burden, that you don’t need to 'harden up', that you shouldn’t just have to 'get over it,' and that you are very brave" commenter says "once I transitioned I saw the change in people being like ‘Oh you poor thing I hope you’re coping alright’ to ‘Just get over it and man up’. Men, you’re allowed to suffer."

the implication of the original post is that men with these issues are told to 'toughen up' or 'get over it,' and conversely that women are not. the commenter then makes this subtext explicit by outright saying that people reacted more sympathetically to his trauma when they read him as a woman than when they read him as a man (at which point they switched to "just get over it"). the OP responds favourably to this addition, proving that the subtext "women don't experience this" was in fact subtext that they intended to be there.

I hope I don't have to explain how utterly absurd it is to claim that women have it easier in this regard, or that their emotions are granted more leeway or sympathy in any meaningfully systematic way. that is just MRA logic.

of course people's ideas about suffering, endurance, trauma, & emotion are gendered! people really do say things about how boys and men should just toughen up and not cry, &c. &c. MRAs, like a lot of other reactionary groups (like TERFs and SWERFs, or antisemites / white supremacists / conspiracy theorists who understand that something's not right with the economy but end up blaming 'minorities' instead of capitalists), take an idea with some truth in it somewhere, but twist it around into a conclusion that the idea in question does not entail on its own (here, "women are allowed to express emotion and garner sympathy by doing so") in a way that leads to resentment, disdain, & hatred for a marginalised group.

so, if it's true that (negative) emotion is thought of as a feminine weakness, why doesn't that translate to women being "allowed" to experience and express emotion, while men are not? for one thing, race has a lot to do with this—the myth of the Black "superwoman," for example, praises Black women for being (read: expects them to be) "tough," "strong," "brave," endless wellsprings of emotional / physical / financial support for others while requiring and receiving no support themselves. the assertion that women receive sympathy for their suffering thus reveals a serious ignorance of Black feminist thought on the part of the person making it.

for another thing, displays of emotion (mostly "negative" emotion, such as sadness) being thought of as primarily feminine means that women have to take especial care to avoid them in many circumstances, not that they're able to freely indulge in them! women's supposed heightened emotionality means that they're less likely to be thought of as capable of serious work, less likely to be promoted or hired, more likely to be financially and professionally penalised for any time they do display any negative emotion (or, rather, the other way around—the myth of women's heightened emotionality is used as an excuse to suppress women's earning potential & make them financially dependent on, and thus exploitable by, men).

on an interpersonal level, you're highly likely as a woman (and especially as a woman of colour) to have fairly mild displays of emotion be interpreted as hysteria, extreme anger, irrationality, volatility. you're highly likely to have your allegations of abuse disbelieved.

on an institutional level, you're highly likely to receive disdain and contempt if you engage in disordered eating habits or try to seek help for them, to have a request for help denied or neglected (disordered eating is just, sort of, what women do). you're also more likely to have a request for help turn into involuntary institutionalisation or psychiatric abuse (a lot of work has been done on the relationship between psychiatry and gender).

also on an institutional level, you are less likely to be believed about the pain you are in as a disabled, chronically ill, or otherwise sick woman (again, especially a woman of colour). you are less likely to receive medical care. you are less likely to have anyone give a shit about the pain you're in, since women are so emotional and melodramatic that you are probably exaggerating, and anyway, being in pain is just sort of women's natural state. you are certainly very unlikely to get any kind of medical care if you're a middle-class cisgender white (read: desirable) woman of 'childbearing age' & the extreme pain that you're in would require risk to your fertility to treat.

there's so much more I could go into here. the basic idea is that properly analysing the relationship between emotion, communication, trauma, abuse, race, class, gender, and the uses of rhetoric that references any of the above (e.g. "boys don't cry") is an enormous undertaking. any claim that implies that women (which women?) wholesale receive more sympathy than men (which men?) do for abuse or other pain that they experience, or that they are more free to express that pain, is both inconsistent with reality on a base level, and incredibly irresponsible. the fact (if it's even true) that "girls" are punished less for crying than "boys" does not a whole picture make.

and, like, think about it. we're living in a patriarchy wherein women are expected to care for and sympathise with men, to forgive men for varied wrongdoings in the family & in romantic relationships, to coddle them in order to avoid or appease their anger, to perform (depending on their class position) various kinds of domestic labour and social / planning work for men without recompense, acknowledgement, or thanks (because knowing how to do and plan housework is just, like, women's natural state of being)—a system where the family and the home faciliate and cover for mass amounts of traumatisation and abuse, including sexual abuse, of girls and women—a system wherein trans women are highly likely to be traumatised and yet disciplined out of expressions of anger or upset under threat of social exile—a system wherein cisgender women cannot be allowed to become too wary of or angry at men (read: too unwilling to continue marrying them and performing a significant role in the social reproduction of their class). how on earth could such a system also enable (rather than allowing for occasional escape valves for, but mostly seeking to supress or transform) women's free expression of upset, sadness, trauma, anger...?

this is the same kind of logic that leads people to believe and spread nonsense such as "people believe women who come forward about being abused and not men," which is just demonstrably inconsistent with everything that we can observe about reality.

im sure op and everyone reblogging it has their hearts in the right place but that 'porn is not misogynistic' post that's been going around is so fucking bad like if i were a swerf i could not build myself a better strawman if i tried

#tattletxt #no screenshot because im trying to preserve nice time on computer mindset #it just bugged me so much

[maxellminidisc]

OP of this popular post on the disregard for what goes into creativity is by a terf. All you have to do is look at her top posts chalk full of gender/bio essentialism, swerf shit, and other transphobic bullshit. Plus THIS post is pretty fucking telling and pathetic on it's own 🙄🙄

[Image description: A screenshot by user quinntheestallion that says: "Anyone just ever think how wild it is that we have to have secret blogs in order to speak honestly about our thoughts on sex, gender, and womanhood because thinking sex is important and that our essence as human females can't be boiled down to a social identity is now forbidden and considered bigotry.]

#blocklist #transphobia tw #transmisogyny tw #like it IS bigotry you disgusting asshole....

[drbased]

Let's do some fun reversals

Trans women are women is a dogwhistle for 'male people should be allowed in the spaces and discussion of, by and for female people'

Feminism should be inclusive is a dogwhistle for 'a well-established movement that advocates for the liberation of an oppressed class - women - should be dismantled'

OP is a TERF/SWERF is a dogwhistle for 'OP is a feminist'

Biology is more complicated than what you learned at school is a dogwhistle for 'male people should be allowed to call themselves women'

anyone else care to join me?

[seejanerot]

TERF/SWERFs have made it so you must have nuance when speaking about feminism online, and you need to check the source of a post more often. I think its important to remind everyone that their ideology is still based within feminism, so there is always going to be some crossover in language.

There is too much of a reliance on not "sounding terfy" which I see levied against so many lesbians/bi women online, and baselessly against actual trans women online. If OP is not straight up advocating for gender bioessentialism or advocating against safe sex work you DO really need to check their blog before calling them "terfy" straight up.

Your criticism should not start and end at "well you sound like you MIGHT be someone i disagree with"

BABE CHECK!!!

Blog Intro/Masterpost

Hi! I’m the OP of this blog. I figured since this is gaining a little bit of traction I’d make an intro post to this blog! My name’s Tal, I’m an 18+ trans guy who’s been hyperfixated on Roy Harper for about nine months now, so I created this blog for rants, reblogs, and (w)riting. I’m also British so excuse any spellings or terms that I may use differently from Americans. My asks and DMs are always open :) I'm 900x more likely to actually write stuff if I've been asked too

Anything that isn't related to Roy, either personal posts or other characters, will be tagged #not roy, so if you're only here for him then feel free to block that tag

Support me on Ko-Fi!

Please don’t ship any of those minus Ollie and Dinah on my posts. While I don't see him as Arrowfam per se but more exclusively Harperfam, Grant Emerson is also included in this. Please don't.)

Any blogs that focus on a paedophilic ship are not welcome here. Please do not like, reblog, or reply to my posts if you ship any underaged character with any adult character. Aging up/de-aging is included.

Aside from those ships, anything’s free game! If you see a post of Roy and Wally, or Roy and Garth, or Roy and Donna, or Roy and Jade or Dick or Grace or whoever, you can tag them with ships, go nuts.

Any form of bigotry is unwelcome here, be that racism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, aphobia, ableism, fatphobia, or SWERFs. If you fall into any of those categories, Roy Harper would not support you, and neither do I. Additionally, intentionally misinterpreting any of my posts to try and demonise addicts will result in a block.

Unlabelled peoples, xenogenders, neopronoun users, etc are all welcome here.

If you ever feel invalidated by an exclusionist, please remember this post because I can assure you they don't know what they're talking about💀

⚠️trigger warning for of course exclusionist dumbassery, also this gets rant-y⚠️

I swear exclusionists have the most incoherent thought processes known to man dude cuz what is this shit

[ID: purple header text reading he/him lesboy flag/ hesboy flag! Under this text is plain black text reading based on these two flags: •reclaimed lesboy •he/him lesbian. Under this, red, bold text reads DNI, followed by rad inclus, terfs/transmeds, anti he/him lesbians & she/her gays, male/men "lesbians" in black plain text. End ID]

'Lesboy flag' and 'no man lesbians' in the same post... my brain is melting. Also... these people 'reclaimed' the term lesboy? Just to exclude a group of people who are lesboys? You do know that lesbians who also consider themselves men are also included in the lesboy term? Apparently not to these people. Butches who also consider themselves men? Sorry, not lesbians anymore. Multigender man lesbians? Nah sorry you're men so you can't be lesbians./sarc

[ID: blue header text reading Demiboy lesbian flag! Beneath this, quote text (at least I think that's what it's called) reads I couldn't decide on which ones to choose, so I'm posting all of them! Beneath this, much like the previous image, OP starts off their DNI with a bold red DNI, followed by black plain text. This text reads mspec "lesbians", radinclus, terfs/transmeds, radfems, men/male "lesbians", anti he/him lesbians and she/her gays. End ID]

Is that,, not excluding demiboy lesbians? Oh my bad, it's fine cuz they're only 'partially male' and therefore aren't ACTUALLY icky men invading lesbian spaces!/sarc

Also can I just say how fucking entitled it is to be all like 'mspec "lesbians"' with the quotes and shit? Like oh my god get over yourself, you aren't the leader of the lesbians™️ [trademark]. Bro thinks they're part of the lesbian council or some shit. 💀

Besides that, this has got to be one of the funniest examples of exclusionist stupidity I've ever seen. I can't get over it bro: 'demiboy lesbian flag!' 'Fuck off icky man lesbians!' In the SAME. POST. BAHAHA–

-----

It's rare that I feel the need to take screenshots and talk about them on my blog, but these are so poetically idiotic that I had to make a whole post dedicated to them. So yeah, sorry about your braincells lmao. But just know you're valid regardless of how you identify as a lesbian, and these are the types of people who think otherwise. Needless to say, they aren't really that credible.

[ID: a DNI banner with a purple background with lighter purple text reading DNI: system/queer exlusionists, TERFs/SWERFs, truscum/transmeds, anti recovery for harmful paraphilia, anti otherkin, anti self dx, pro cringe culture, pro-lifers, anti xenogender. A more detailed DNI is in my pinned post. A transparent png of Shadow The Hedgehog can be seen on the right, beside the text. He's holding his hand to his chest, his body facing the text and his eyes looking off to the distance. End ID]

#tw exclusionism #random rant #demiboy lesbian #lesboy #transmasc lesbian #exclusionism rots your brain and this is proof💀 #I sometimes feel like exclus are these little creatures that I'm observing from behind a glass wall or something like it's so bizarre to me #how there are people in the world who actually think like this #and it's like ?????? #how??? can somebody be so dumb??? #that sounds so rude but like seriously how can somebody sit down #make a lesboy or demiboy lesbian flag #and be like 'lol no men lesbians' and think that's in any way coherent 💀 #it's so fucking funny to me #but also frustrating like just let people vibe lmao #anyway #we love lesboys who are lesboys for any reason here #rad inclus #radical inclusivity #radical inclusion
